olearia

On another day, in the presence of twenty thousand people, grouped amongst green olearia bushes on grassy sandhills by the bay, the Prince inspected seven thousand children representing two hundred and fifty schools.

Somewhat farther back is the handsome dwarf Platycodon Mariesi, and behind it the taller Platycodons, among full-flowered bushes of Olearia Haasti.

The New Zealand Olearia Haasti may also be seen there—7 feet to 8 feet high and as much through.

Olearia.—The best known of the Daisy trees of New Zealand is O. Haastii, which flowers freely in August.
